Transmigrated into a female county magistrate during a famine, leading her country to prosperity

Lu Si's eyes widened, and after a moment he laughed again, his tone full of madness.

"Go back to Nanba Village? Hahahaha, Ding Qiuer, you let a wolf into the house and almost hurt them badly! Do you think the people of Nanba Village can still tolerate you? You have a good idea. I want to see if you can survive without me, Lu Si!"

Qiu Niang was also provoked by his words and looked at him fiercely.

"Yes! It is I, Ding Qiuer, who has let down the folks of Nanba Village. If they really cannot accept me, that is understandable. Then I, Ding Qiuer, will spend the rest of my life atonement for my sins. It is better than following you, Lu Si!"

After hearing this, Lu Si seemed to be choked. His face looked extremely embarrassed and he could not say anything anymore.

"Clap clap clap."

Shen Zheng in the hall clapped her hands, and Ding Qiuer finally came to her senses and stood up for once.

She asked Zhou Lizheng who was standing in the hall: "Zhou Lizheng, come and talk to Lu Si, can the people of your Nanba Village tolerate Ding Qiu's divorce?"

Zhou Lizheng wanted to speak just now, and now the opportunity came. He pointed at Lu Si's nose and spoke like a bamboo tube pouring beans:

"Lü Si, you bastard, Ding Qiuer grew up in my Nanba Village, and has been a Nanba Villager all her life. Why can't we tolerate her? Do you really think I am from Tong'an County and you are from Yonglu County? Your heart is smaller than a needle tip? Not to mention Ding Qiuer, even after you two divorce, Lan'er will no longer have you as her father! From now on, Ding Qiuer and Lan'er are just people from my Nanba Village. They are not your daughters, let alone your wives! Go to jail and don't worry about anything else!"

The other people in the hall laughed out loud after hearing Zhou Lizheng's long speech. Shen Zheng really didn't expect that he could directly use the map cannon.

Lu Si was completely discouraged by Zhou Lizheng's scolding. His face was ashen and he stared blankly at the ground in front of him.

Qiu Niang burst into tears upon hearing this, "Thank you, Brother Zhou. From now on, I..."

Before Qiu Niang finished her words, Zhou Lizheng interrupted her: "Don't talk about atonement or not atonement, Ding Qiuer, this is not your fault."

It's not your fault.

This was the second time Qiu Niang heard these words today. The last time was when the county magistrate said them to her. They... didn’t seem to really blame her.

Qiu Niang burst into laughter and nodded at Zhou Lizheng.

When Shen Zheng heard them finish their talk, she spoke up and made the final decision: "Then I will approve your request for a divorce. Zhao Xiu, go to Yonglu County to handle this matter, and then move Ding Qiu's household registration back. Also, bring Lan'er back with you."

Ding Qiu heard this and asked, "Sir, can I go with you? If Lan'er doesn't see me, I'm afraid she won't leave."

Shen Zheng pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement.

......

Moon on the branches.

Yonglu County is so lively tonight that even the curfew seems to be in name only.

If I were to describe in detail what happened, it would take a whole day and night to finish!

At the time of Xu, two horse-drawn carriages stopped in front of the gate of Yonglu County Government Office. Within a moment, their county magistrate came running out, shouting "Mr. Prefect!"

Hey!

The prefect has come to Yonglu County!

So why did the prefect come here?

He actually came to capture the chief constable of Yonglu County, Wang Wu!

The people of Yonglu County can still laugh out loud when they think of that scene.

Wang Wu has finally come to this day!

It is true that evil will be punished by God!

No, no, no, the evil captain will be arrested by a high-ranking official!

The prefect really vented his anger for them!

The constable next to the prefect at that time was also very impressive. He quickly pinned Wang Wu to the ground and punched him twice in the face!

It's so refreshing! It's really so refreshing!!!

I heard that it was Wang Wu who ordered others to attack the rice in Tongan County, and he was caught red-handed by the prefect of Tongan County!

Nowadays, everyone knows about the rice in Tongan County, even the common people know that it is the treasure of Tongan County. No one expected Wang Wu to be so brave!

I guess Wang Wu didn't expect why the prefect would appear in Tongan County, hahahaha.

However, the prefect looked very unhappy when he left, and perhaps their county magistrate would also suffer as a result.

Speaking of the county magistrate, the people of Yonglu County neither love him nor hate him. It’s just like that. Aren’t all officials like that?

......

A few more days passed.

Liuyang government office.

Yu Zhengqing has been extremely busy these days. Whenever he thought about it, he felt that he should not have agreed to Shen Zheng's request so quickly.

He personally took care of everything, including judging Wang Wu and finding a teacher for Tongan County School.

Is it okay to say that he doesn't do it himself?

Actually, it’s possible, but he just doesn’t feel safe leaving it to others.

Yu Zhengqing sighed silently when he thought of this. It was his fault. Fortunately, he had found enough teachers today. Two old scholars with good talents and one juren should be enough in Tongan County today.

And he also did an important thing in the past few days, which was to write a letter to the emperor.

In fact, the number of letters written by local officials to the emperor is not that high. If they are reporting on their political achievements, there are people specifically assigned to check.

If we say that their local officials took the initiative to write letters to the emperor, there were actually only a few things.

The first type is the most common, which is to ask about the health of the emperor. To put it bluntly, they just want to care about the emperor, show up in front of him, and improve his favorability. After being sent abroad for a long time, they are afraid of being forgotten by the emperor.

The second type is also more common, which is asking for silver. This type of asking will usually lead to scolding, not only from the emperor but also from the Ministry of Revenue. But there is no other way. If they can get silver by being scolded a few times, then everyone is willing to do it.

The third type is people like Yu Zhengqing, who have important matters to report.

In his letter, Yu Zhengqing described the textile machine and the high-yield rice in detail. He did have some cotton cloth now, but he left in a hurry that day and did not take the rice with him.

So today he planned to send someone to go back to Tongan County with Zhao Xiu to dig up a rice plant. Then he would order them to ride as fast as they could to the capital to meet the emperor!

Zhao Xiu was a little stunned when he looked at the silver that Yu Zhengqing handed over.

Is this the errand fee for business trip?

Seeing that he didn't move, Yu Zhengqing stuffed the two taels of silver into his hand and said, "Go back and tell your master that this is the money I used to buy her rice. This rice will be presented to the emperor in Beijing. Remember, don't choose the best one."

Zhao Xiu was shocked at first, because the rice from his Tongan County was going to be brought to the capital to meet the emperor!

Then he felt a little uncomfortable, because Daozi had seen the Holy Face, but he had not...

But Yu Zhengqing's last words gave Zhao Xiu an epiphany.

You can't choose something too good. Yes, if he were to do the job, he would think that the thing presented to the emperor must be the most outstanding one, but Yu Zhengqing's words made him understand that this rice is different.

If they present the best to His Majesty right away, and the rice they produce in the future is not as good as his, then it would be a disgrace to Tongan County at best, and at worst, it would be an insult to the emperor!

Zhao Xiu put the silver in his arms and said to Yu Zhengqing, "I will definitely tell my master what he said."

When Yu Zhengqing saw him take the silver without any hesitation, the corners of his mouth twitched.

It is true that every official has his own subordinates.

He took out another letter from his bosom and handed it to Zhao Xiu, "Take this letter back and give it to your mistress. Ask her to read it carefully and write back to me after she has considered it."
